What would you feel when you go to the Louvre museum and see the Egyptian antiquities stolen?
If they hate the desert and the camel why steal antiquities form the Middle East in Egypt and Iraq (Mesopotamia). why they just stay in them countries and do not touch the our Antiquities which made from our sand
I expect they are jealous of the ancient civilizations in our country and our Sahara .
I feel glad that they are there for the world to appreciate and enjoy.I think they have a better chance of being preserved for more generations to learn from and appreciate in the Louvre than in the Middle East. Let’s be honest. Every time there is a war over there, museums gets looted. Mankind probably originated from Africa and moved in the middle east and Asia. I think these antiquities belong to ALL of us and should be preserved. We are probably all related to those who built and created them.
I think my anger would be more projected at the Louvre.
The worlds most renowned museum with such poor security. It is rather pathetic really.
You still have lots of sand, be happy with that.
The Egyptian stuff is so numerous there are not enough museums in that country to show even a third of them. It is nice people can see such wonderful things without taking a trip. I am also very glad that the government of Egypt is very strict now and hope they get most of the stolen artifacts back.
I would not automatically think they were stolen. Much of the art work was purchased legally from private collectors or museum auctions. Other pieces are on loan. The Vatican is a different story. They have a lot of Egyptian antiquities in their vaults that was stolen centuries ago. But art stolen centuries ago are no longer covered by laws regarding stolen property.
Because the last time they returned antiquities they were stolen from the museums they were returned to. They are much safer in the Louvre.
